I meant to update this last night, but I started playing around with Perl and
regular expressions. Regexps are amazing things, but difficult to wrap one's
brain around at first. I have to wonder if there exists some kind of graphical
tool to put together a custom regular expression. I'd think it'd make a great
teaching tool.

I downloaded
w3m
yesterday. According to the author, it's a pager (i.e., a file viewer like
less or more - there's sort of an interesting little
history
of the program) that can act as a text mode web browser. It's got some very
nifty features - it renders tables and frames, you can pipe standard input to
it, it's small and fast, and when it's acting as a pager it can turn anything
that looks like a URL into a link. It's not a replacement for
Lynx, nor is it trying to be, but it
fills its niche well. It's at least worth a look.
